For more information about us, visit www.hfea.gov.uk. Who should fill in this form? Fill in this form if you are a woman commissioning a surrogacy arrangement and are providing eggs or embryos (created outside the body with your eggs) to the surrogate. What do I need to know before filling in this form? Before you fill in this form, you should be certain that your clinic has given you all the relevant information you need to make fully informed decisions. This includes: information about: the different options set out in this form the implications of giving your consent the consequences of withdrawing this consent, and how you can make changes to, or withdraw, your consent. an opportunity to have counselling about the implications of entering into a surrogacy arrangement. If you are unsure, or think that you have not been given all of this information, please speak to your clinic. There is a declaration at the end of this form which you must sign to confirm you have received this information. If you do not receive this information before filling in this form, your consent may be invalid. You are strongly advised to seek your own legal advice before entering into a surrogacy arrangement. If you are providing eggs or embryos to be transferred to a surrogate and wish to be the nominated legal parent of the resulting child on birth, you also need to fill in the Your consent to being the legal parent in surrogacy (SPP) form. If you are unable to complete this form because of physical illness, injury or disability you may direct someone else to complete and sign it for you. Why do I have to fill in this form? By law (the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990 (as amended)), you need to give your written consent if you want your eggs, or embryos created outside the body with your eggs, to be used or stored (eg, for in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment). If you are storing your eggs or embryos, you must also state in writing how long you consent to them remaining in storage. You are also legally required to record what you would like to happen to your eggs and embryos if you were to die or lose the ability to decide for yourself (become mentally incapacitated). While this is perhaps not something you have considered, your clinic needs to know this so that they only allow your eggs and embryos to be used according to your wishes. If you re unsure of anything in relation to this, please ask your clinic. Why are there questions about using my eggs and embryos for training purposes? You may have some eggs and embryos left which you do not wish to be used in future surrogacy treatment, or which are not viable for treatment.on this form, you can consent to donate these for training purposes to allow healthcare professionals to learn about, and practice, the techniques involved in fertility treatment. Unused eggs and embryos can also be donated for research purposes, helping to increase knowledge about diseases and serious illnesses and potentially develop new treatments. Your clinic can give you more information about this and provide you with the relevant consent form(s). When filling in this form, make sure you sign the declaration on every page to confirm that you have read the page and fully agree with the consent and information given.
